Indian Textbook That Teaches Children How To Kill Kittens

An animal rights row has erupted in India over a school textbook

which tells children how to suffocate kittens. The
book, which is used in hundreds of private schools, features a science
experiment in which two cats are placed in separate boxes - only one of
which has airholes.Activists argued that it endangered the lives of children and animals.Many schools have now scrapped the offending page.The
passage in Our Green World: Environment Studies is meant to demonstrate
that air is essential for life. It reads: "Put a small kitten in each
box. Close the boxes. After some time open the boxes. What do you see?
The kitten inside the box without holes has died." Source BBC News.
